Sounds like this was a 'was hit and run (at thier fault). Referring to the P/U driver who ran the sign and was aperently struck by oncoming. At mid-night on the fourth, this pretty much spells out an intoxicated driver, or atleast a driver that knew they were impaired enough to be over the .08 limit. I'm not sticking up for the impaired driver here, but if they are found tomarow, they will be charged with running a stop sign, and hit and run. Accident ruled thier fault (if thier caught). But if they pulled over at the scene of the accident like they were suppose to do, they would get all of that, minus the hit and run, and plus a DUI. Would you rather have a hit and run on your record, or a DUI??? Probably is what that driver was thinking. I'm not saying any of this is right to do. I am just saying.
If trail cam only takes pictures on motion activation and on timed intervals, it might be hard to get tag numbers. If it shoots video, it would increase the chances. But it would have to be set up at the right camara angle pertaining to the vehicle in question, and also corresponding with its direction of traffic. Set up the wrong way, it wouldn't catch the plate number unless your state requires front plates also (mine don't). Is what I'm getting at, if you don't get the plate number, your not really capturing anything more than what the eye witness seen themselves in the Subaru (knowing it was a P/U).
If you want to set up a trail cam rolling for 365 to maybe catch one hit and run, or maybe not, have at it I guess. I hope you own the property at that intersection, or can get permission from the people that do. I'm sure the county commissioner is not going to want you hanging up camara equipment on the stop sign, or placing it on the roadway. He's gonna tell you to do what you please on the private property there at the intersection (so long as you got permission from the landowners).
My 2 cents.
Hit and runs, are just awful and troubling to hear about. I'm with ya there. But we hear about them after the fact, and not before hand. Preventative measures such as the 4-way stop might be for a better cause. A drunk is apt to run any stop sign anywhere though. And not just this one.

In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P.
